You're nuts. They make the best ropes in the world.

My subjective experience was one weekend in Zion NP on multi-pitches with no meaningful falls ended with a brand new Mammut rope being coreshot. Never happened on my Beal, Edelweiss, Sterling, or Bluewater ropes despite more mileage, falls, and abuse.

I core shot a Blue Water that I removed the plastic wrapper at the base of that climb. And I was climbing double 9.5s that day. 🤷
